Latest News On the British and Irish Lions
The heart of information about the most iconic and passionate team in world rugby. If there is one team that stirs passions every four years, it is the British and Irish Lions. A mythological beast born from the union of the four founding nations—England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland—to take on the southern hemisphere in a tour that transcends sport.
Because following the Lions isn’t just about watching the three Test matches. The tour is a journey, an adventure that lasts weeks and covers thousands of miles—like the nearly 42,000 miles traveled by our accredited press on the last visit to Australia. It’s the “sea of red” made up of thousands of traveling fans, the anecdotes from the locker rooms, the refereeing controversies, the tactical analysis of legends like Sam Warburton and Sir Ian McGeechan, and the passion of the journalists who experience the tour from the inside.
We have scoured the best journalistic sources to bring you the best of each media outlet, saving you the task of browsing through hundreds of pages. Here we bring you:
